This inaugural volume in the Ohio University Press Series in
Ecology and History is the paperback edition of Conrad Totman's
widely acclaimed study of Japan's environmental policies over the
centuries.
Professor Totman raises the critical question of how Japan's
steeply mountainous woodland has remained biologically healthy
despite centuries of intensive exploitation by a dense human
population that has always been dependent on wood and other forest
products. Mindful that in global terms this has been a rare
outcome, and one that bears directly on Japan's recent experience
as an affluent, industrial society, Totman examines the causes,
forms, and effects of forest use and management in Japan during the
millennium to 1870. He focuses mainly on the centuries after 1600
when the Japanese found themselves driven by their own excesses
into programs of woodland protection and regenerative forestry.
